What I Learned Is, We Have To Listen To Each Other, Even When We Don't Agree, Even When We Think We Hate Each Other. We Have To Listen To Each Others Narratives. Not Interrupt Defensively, Or With Hostility, But Really Try To Open Our Hearts And Listen With Empathy. I Learned So Much From That Meeting. It Was A Very Difficult Thing To Do And It Was One Of The Best Things That I Ever Did In My Life. Look What Scares You In The Face, And Try To Understand It. Empathy, I Have Learned, Is Revolutionary.

As I Saw My 60th Birthday Approaching, I Thought,what Did 60 Mean To Me? I Figured I'd Probably Live Until I'm About 90, Which Meant That I Was At The Beginning Of What I Call My Third Act. As An Actress, I Know How Important The Third Act Is. It Makes Sense Of The First And Second Acts. You Can Have First And Second Acts That Are Interesting, But You Don't Know What They Mean. Then A Good Third Act Pulls It All Together. And So I Knew That, Because I Sat By My Father's Side Over The Long Months When He Was Dying.
